MONTREAL (CP) - Bon Jovi is returning to Montreal July 13 for its only outdoor concert this year in Canada.

The group said it chose Montreal because of the warm reception it received during two performances at the Bell Centre last December. The New Jersey band will play on Ile-Ste-Helene after a performance by Nickelback.

Bon Jovi began its concert tour in November 2005 to promote the album Have A Nice Day, certified three-times platinum.

Over 20 years, the band was sold more than 100 million albums around the world.
